MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA, AND STAFFORD, UK, 21 July 2011 - PuriCore(LSE: PURI), the water-based clean technology company focused on developing and commercialising proprietary, green solutions that safely, effectively, and naturally kill infectious pathogens, today announces that PuriCore plc (the "Company" or "PuriCore") has reached agreement for the settlement of its claim against Misonix, Inc., for breaches of warranty under the sale and purchase agreement ("SPA") in connection with PuriCore's acquisition of Labcaire from Misonix in August 2009.

 

As part of the settlement, PuriCore will no longer be liable for $1 million in commission payments as defined in the SPA, and Misonix will reimburse PuriCore $650,000 towards costs and fees of the litigation to date.

As part of this agreement, Misonix has the obligation over a three-year period either to purchase product or pay a minimum of $2 million in gross margin value to PuriCore.

 

Chris Wightman, Executive Chairman of PuriCore, said:

"This settlement marks a successful conclusion to the litigation. Additionally, this distribution agreement enables PuriCore to expand the sales footprint of its innovative wound care solution into ultrasonic devices, enabling effective cleansing and debridement treatment for patients with chronic and acute wounds."
